Zamalek have been drawn with African powerhouses Mazembe of DR Congo in the CAF Champions League group stage. The tough Group A includes five-time champions Zamalek, Hilal of Sudan, with DR Congo rivals Mazembe and Vita Club. Zamalek will be Egypt's sole representative after defending champions Ahli were surprisingly eliminated by Libya's Ahli Benghazi. An all-North-African Group B will see Benghazi compete with Algeria's ES Setif and Tunisia duo Esperance and Sfaxien.
